[Candle in the Tomb]

[Episode 20]

Someone in our midst might not be human.

If we're not human, then what are we?

A spirit?

A monster?

I was just saying it without
much thought. It's what's drawn.

Mis Yang, there's another possibility.

Is it possible that there were
originally five people drawn

but because it's been such a long time,
one person was smudged off?

This stone box was preserved very well.

There are no traces of anything
being smudged off.

And it's very clear that
this round part is the head

and the lines connecting to it
are the body and four limbs.

It says that one of the four
people opens the stone box.

It's just some little kid.
What does he know?

It's just a stone box.
There's no lock on it.

It says four people came in,
and only one opens it?

Then we'll challenge that today.

Hold out your hand.
The two of us will open it together.

Come on, Hu.

Monster!

It's dead! It's dead! They're all dead!

Ghosts!

Professor!

Fatso, hurry and grab him!

Professor! Professor!

Monster!

- Professor!
- Monster! I'm not scared of you!

I'm not scared of you! I'm a scientist!

Professor!

Fatso, use all your strength!

I am! Can't you see?

- Professor!
- Xiao Ye!

- Professor.
- I'm a scientist.

Yes, yes, yes. It's okay, Professor.

Xiao Ye, wake up.

Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye, wake up.

Xiao Ye!

- Xiao Ye!
- Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye!

Xiao Ye, what's wrong?

Xiao Ye!

Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye!

Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye wasn't in good health.

After going through all that,
she couldn't take it anymore.

Yang, this is all your fault.

You must take
responsibility for all this.

I'm telling you, even if we get out
of here, I won't be done with you!

You monsters!

I'll fight you with my life!

Professor Chen!
What are you doing, Professor Chen?

- Professor Chen! What are you doing?
- Don't come over! You're all monsters!

Professor Chen!

- Fatso, hurry!
- Okay.

- You're all... all monsters.
- Professor.

- Professor, calm down.
- Monsters.

Professor!

Monsters.

Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen, what's wrong?

Nothing can happen to you.

I'm not scared.

I'm not scared of monsters.

Hu, the prophet's words have come true.

We're four people now.

And Professor Chen opened
the stone box by himself.

Since the prophet predicted
that we would come here

maybe he'll give us
directions on how to leave.

What's drawn on there?

Is it a prophecy?

It must be.

Does it give us hints on
how to get out of here?

Hu, say something.

What does it say?

If I'm right,
the second box can be opened too.

But the prophecy says that

one of the four people to open the box
is an evil spirit.

Evil spirit?

Stop joking around.

Come here.

In this first picture, among the four
people who open the stone box

one of them has an eye on top of
the head and two snake fangs.

Fatso, it's the same
as the man-snake pillar

in the fourth row from the shrine.

Look over here.

The second and third pictures
are side by side.

There are two results.

One is that the four
people open the stone box

and then the evil spirit
suddenly comes out and attacks.

It kills the other three.

The other is that the evil spirit lies
dismembered on the ground

and the other three people
open the second box.

And then a passageway
opens up in the tomb.

It's over here. Maybe...

This is the road to heaven.

Hu, I understand.

It means that if we kill the evil spirit,
we can get out of here.

I think the prophet wanted to tell us
to choose our own fate.

I know who the evil spirit is.

I guarantee that I'm not wrong.

I know what you're thinking.

But Fatso, we must remain calm.

How can we stay calm? We don't have time!

I'm telling you, if we delay it
anymore, we're all done for!

Xiao Ye is already dead.

Professor Chen might die soon!

I know that.

But right now, everyone is suspicious,
including you and me.

Hu Ba Yi, you suspect me too?

What are you two doing?

What's inside the stone box?

Nothing much. It's empty.

- What?
- There's nothing here.

We're just discussing other ideas
on how to find a way out.

- Down the water goes for 3000 feet!
- No! No!

There's poison in the water.
Poison... poison.

- Professor.
- From now on, I'll do as you say.

Test me first.
You can test me in whatever way you want.

If I'm not the evil spirit,
then don't blame me for what I do.

We can't be democratic right now.

Political power grows out
of the barrel of a gun.

Did you just say political power
grows out of the barrel of a gun?

Are you mad? What do you mean I said it?

That's what Chairman Mao said!

I have an idea.

Fatso.

This evil spirit must be
from the Jingjue Kingdom, right?

Yes.

So no matter how it disguises itself

it's never been through
the Cultural Revolution.

It's never studied politics
and never read the news.

Get to the point.

We'll use what the evil spirit
doesn't know to test it.

Fatso, do you remember the poem

"To Pay Tribute to the
Soldiers of World War III?"

Of course I remember it.

On your sixteenth birthday, I copied that
long poem into the notebook I gave you.

In World War III where we finally
put an end to imperialism

the two of us were in the same squad.

From then on, our friendship
was beyond measure.

We only knew that it was higher than
a mountain and longer than the roads.

In the trenches, we split a bun to eat
and split our salt.

We hummed the same tune.

We studied again and again
every word of every row

of our leader's thoughts,
of the noble truth.

With our utmost devotion and
aspirations commit ourselves

to the party under the red flag

we held our guns and raised our fists
to make our vows of steel.

We were willing to sacrifice everything
we had to bring about communism.

In the midst of gunfire,
shoulder to shoulder

we advanced 300 meters
into the enemy's defensive line.

Our machine guns
pointed at the exploiters

to fire the bullets of
revenge for the proletariat!

What are you two doing?

Why are you playing around
at a time like this?

Take a bite of this.

And then give it to
Professor Chen to take a bite.

If you do as I say, it'll only be for
your own good. I won't harm you.

Are you crazy? That black donkey's hoof
is used to drive out evil spirits.

I'm not going to bite it. Take it away.

She knows everything.

I'll tell you the truth.

There's another prophecy
inside the stone box.

Among the four of us,
one of us is an evil spirit.

Only by killing it will we
be able to get out of here.

We've already tested each other.
It's not us.

Now it's just you two.

If you don't dare to bite it,
that means there's a problem with you.

Are you going to bite it or not?

I won't. Now what?

Don't waste your breath on her.

Hey! Look!

Don't come over here!
Are you done messing around?

Hu, she's pointing a gun at us.

Hu Ba Yi, because I suspect
you are tomb raiders

you're going to kill me?

You two are bastards!

I should have exposed you earlier.

Are you all stirred up?

You think you're the
only one who can aim well?

Should we be scared of you?

I'm telling you, before I die,
I'll take out the ghost!

Then it'll be worth it!

You guys have gone mad.

If there are any ghosts,
you two are ghosts!

Then tell the truth.

What is the relationship between you and
the Jingjue queen?

What relationship could I have with her?

Then why do you look exactly like her?

How did you know?

Back when I was on the rock beam,
I opened the coffin.

You were lying inside!

Hu, don't you think that's preposterous?

How can you hold an illusion against me?

It's your illusion.
Ask yourself that question!

We're talking about you right now!
Don't change the subject!

Why did you dream about the Devil's Cave?

And you're American!
Why do you know the Mojin code?

Who exactly are you?
What are you trying to do? Tell us!

Tell us!

We don't have to be so polite with her!

Wait!

Wait.

Don't move or I'll shoot!

Fatso.

This is real.

That Gold Tooth!

He lied to us with fake ones.

I was wondering why
this was never useful.

I don't know why I dreamed about
the Devil's Cave either.

I understand the Mojin code

because my grandfather was
also in that line of work.

I heard him say those things.

So your grandfather
was a Mojin tomb raider?

You're all bad people!

No one can escape!

Fatso! Hurry and grab him!

I am Jingjue Kingdom's guardian!

This old man has gone completely insane.

Hurry and bite this.

Hu Ba Yi, give it back to me.

Stop moving.

Now do you believe me?

If I were an evil spirit,
how could I have a Mojin amulet on me?

Hu, hurry over here!

I can't get this in!

Stop messing around!

Don't move!

This is a matter of life or death.

I have no other choice.

Hu, hurry over!

Don't move!

Hu, don't just stare! Shoot!

Calm down!

Shoot!

Why did you hit me?

Stop making a ruckus.

Miss Yang, take care of Professor Chen.

What's going on?

Fatso, tell me what you see.

How come there's nothing there?

That's right.

I'm scared now.

Don't be scared, Fatso.
I understand now.

That was an illusion just now.

Shirley's shot woke me up.

While I was on the rock bridge

it was the sound of
the gun that woke me up.

I was also in the illusion just now?

Yes, that's right.

Let me think. Let me reason this out.

The hypnotic power of
the fragrant corpse devil's taro

is far beyond our imagination.

When it bloomed,
the range of its power expanded.

Those lycoris...

I think even the lycoris
was an illusion it created

to make us cram into that cave
and bury ourselves there.

But then we came over here,
so it made us see that fake prophecy.

Its goal was to make us kill each other.

Then no one would be able to expose
the secret of the Jingjue queen.

That's ruthless.

If I had known, I would've
bombed that rock bridge!

The owner of the notebook must have
seen his team killing each other.

That's why he went insane.

Just like Professor Chen.

His students have all died.

Miss Yang, I'm really sorry.

- Just now, we were... a complete mess.
- Yes, yes.

I won't hold it against you now.
We can talk about it outside.

You're so magnanimous.

Yes, we were under a spell.

You should forgive us and
not hold it against us.

All right. Let's think
of a way to escape.

Oh yeah, let's see what
else is inside that stone box.

Let's agree to this first.

No matter what we see or what happens

if we find something off
about the other...

Just slap them. No need to be polite.

That's right.

You must slap us.

Yes, yes.

Hurry and see if the little prophet
has pointed out a way out for us.

These are drawings from the holy sage.

It talks about the secrets
of the Devil's Cave Dwellers.

Because Zaglama Mountain
had a Devil's Cave

it was regarded as a sacred mountain.

Everyone wanted to know
what was inside the cave.

So they had a high priest
create a jade eyeball.

They wanted to use it to
see the bottomless pit.

Not only was it useless, but it also
attracted a lot of weird snakes.

They killed countless
people and livestock.

Do we have a lot of time?

Why are we reading about that?

Wait.

Is the jade eye that I dropped
the one that they made?

It's possible.

Keep reading it.

In the end, two holy sages that
were protected by the real God

led soldiers to wipe out the snakes.

From then on, the holy sages regarded
it as the cave of disaster.

But the jade eye had already
opened the door to disaster.

Miss Yang, are you telling the
story again from the beginning?

I have to finish it to tell it
again from the beginning.

If I just go straight to the end, we
might not be able to decipher everything.

Fatso, stop interrupting.

Keep reading.

Afterwards, a prophet was born.

It's this child with the
ability to foresee things.

It says that through a ritual

he can predict important things that
will happen thousands of years later.

But only things in the vicinity
of Zaglama Mountain.

That was fast.

She's already at the part
about the prophet.

Is there a prophecy from him?

My heart is racing.

You must not read the
contents at the end!

Don't read it!

Professor. Professor, calm down.

Don't leave. Don't leave.

Fatso, stop him!

- Professor!
- Professor!

Professor!

Don't hold us back!

I can't be nice anymore!

Fatso, hurry and get it out!

We're done for. The professor ate the
last page and now there's nothing there.

What a sin!

It's okay. There was nothing
on the last page anyway.

Could the prophet have known that the
professor would try to eat the last page?

Maybe.

Hurry, hurry!

Hurry and read it.

The prophet predicted that
800 years after he died

Zaglama Mountain would
welcome a new tribe of people.

That tribe was the predecessor
of the Jingjue Kingdom.

Then the Jingjue queen had eyes that were
able to see through the Devil's Cave.

In rituals, she used the jade eye to
summon the black snakes and evil spirits.

Thus, she conquered
the neighboring kingdoms.

And this savage pagan act
infuriated the True God.

The True God gave the mountain
and the nearby regions to the devil.

The desert swallowed all the cities.

All the people and
livestock in this country

including the black snakes
and evil spirits

were buried deep below the ground.

This is the same as the Jingjue Kingdom
legend you told us about.

That's right.

This is the last revelation.

It predicts that there
will be four survivors

who come here because
the mountain breaks up.

One of them is a descendant
of the prophet's tribe.

Among the four of us,
you're the one who's most likely it.

That's right. It must be Miss Yang.

You were able to dream about a
place you've never been to before.

Like a prophet.

Could it be that your
ancestors lived here before?

It doesn't matter who it is.
It's one of us.

Our main priority is to get out of here.
We'll talk about that later.

The prophet will point out a way
to survival for his descendant.

But they must not let the
sheepskin book fall on the floor.

When it falls on the floor,
the sandstorm will start.

Then sand will once again swallow
Jingjue Kingdom and Zaglama Mountain.

And this time the sacred mountain will
be swallowed until the end of time.

That sheepskin book is a time bomb.

Is there anything at the end?

No. That's the last revelation
the prophet gave us.

He said that he would point out
a way to survival for his descendant.

Let's look at the corpse to see
if it has answers.

Hu, how is it?

There's nothing special.

It doesn't look like it's
pointing out anything.

Miss Yang, don't look.

Hurry and put the sheepskin book away!
We must not let it drop to the ground!

Don't ever think about leaving!

Professor!

- No!
- No!

All done.

What's happening?

Is it collapsing again?

Fun! Fun!

Fun! Fun!

Hu, we're done for.

What was in the sheepskin
book has come true.

That prophet was toying with us.

There are three ways out,
and we have to choose one.

Only one should be the right one.
There's only one chance.

If we choose the wrong one this time,
we're really dead.

Let's each take one path.

Better to have one person alive
than to have us all buried here.

Shut up! We came in together,
we must leave together!

Miss Yang, you choose one.

Don't look to her. You're counting on
her to point out the right path?

This one.

Wait... is that reliable?

There's no time! Hurry!

Professor! Professor!

I belong here!

I belong here!

Hurry and run!

Fatso, hurry!

Over here!

Let's go! Let's go!
